The ACLU is representing multiple parents who legally sought asylum at ports of entry, with no criminal record, and with identifying documents showing that the children were their's, and they had their children separated from them for months. There are additional accounts beyond that too. 

Those are all facts. If you're willing to acknowledge that reality, I'm willing to discuss this more in the next thread about this topic. I have nothing left for this thread that hasn't been said 5 times over, but I didn't want to leave you hanging. That'd be rude.

Then that's a little bit different, and as we all know some will slide thru.  The system is far from perfect just because Humans are running it and involved. Of course we can always make it better, but I hate that anytime someone feels violated, they want to sue. Shouldn't we be suing the countries they came from for letting them leave in the first place?

I really hate to seem like an ass, but really there is a proper way to do things and in improper one, the ones that do it improperly ruin it for those that are trying to do it the right way. I will give credit to USCIS they have been making small changes that really speeds up the legal way. What I don't like seeing is my tax dollars going to supporting illegals when we have our own citizens to support. It puts everyone in between a rock and a hard place. At some point, you have to acknowledge that enough is enough. Not only that, illegals haven't been vaccinated and cleared medically and record checks performed.

I'll just say again that America used to BETTER than other countries in how we treated people...even "illegals".  But the seedy underbelly of hate has seen a lot of growth over the years.

Meh, things have been bad there for a long time. but seem to now be coming to a head were as in the past the current POTUS never really pushed one way or another about it since Reagan.
